I was ill and off work and home today.yes! I am ill.I am feeling better now.In the afternoon I've read some of the latest magazines I bought - mostly UK editions of Vogue,Instyle,HBazaar and Industrie and more.It snows unstoppable here.It snows in Istanbul more and more....

I visited a showroom and office of my friend with my portfolio and garments.It was snowing back then in previous saturday and damn its still still snowing lots lots.Booo!!!! I want to be back to normal routine and have sun on my face.I even want to put my shades on.I grew up playing snow at Eskisehir but in a giant city snow is bummer! Anyway, wait for my summer collection!...

I hoped that I’d end this challenge feeling inspired and looking forward to wearing my leopard print items again, but I’ve come down with a horrid cold - my throat feels like it’s been sand papered and I feel sick -so I’m just moping around in my pj’s.

I did manage to pull together an outfit for my last day, but I think you can probably tell that I wasn’t really up for it.

Anyway, the question I need to ask myself is: have I missed my leopard print items? YES! But that’s only really because most of my footwear is of the animal variety, so I’ve been left with a very limited selection of shoes to wear all week.

It’s not until you take everything out of your wardrobe and really look at what you’ve got, that you can see what you’re repeatedly buying. I’ve been through so many different wardrobes and know that most people get in to the habit of buying particular items over and over again (the most popular being jeans, black trousers or cardigans) but I didn’t think I was doing the same. Well, it turns out I am.

So, while I’ve missed my print ever so much, I’ve been able to determined the gaps in my wardrobe that if I fill (bank account willing) I will be able to create an ever more versatile wardrobe… all in all, it was a very worthwhile exercise.

Things have been a bit rushed this weekend, so I’ve only just got round to posting my outfit from yesterday. I’m wearing the maxi skirt from this post and have teamed it with a simple white jumper, tan belt and mix of bangles. I wanted to wear something quite relaxed and comfortable and this just fitted that perfectly.

Following on from my last couple of posts, I wanted to try out a different shot. Instead of just standing there I wanted to try an ‘action shot’ :)

Skirt from Warehouse, jumper from Zara, bangles from various places, belt for another pair of trousers and shoes from Ash.
